My 90Q had a nice leak in the front (cost the PO a new ignition control
module) which was "solved" by doing an amateur seal job on the
windsheild with some black RTV.  Still holding up 18 months later,
amazingly.

I also occasionally (but haven't noticed this in a while) would get a
wet carpet in the right rear. never sourced it succesfully, water ran
easily thru the sunroof drains though, without appearing to end up
inside the car at all.  Might have cleared up on its own of course.
